"Void Lightning Beast?"
Xiao Yan lifted his brows when he heard Zi Yun's words from the stage. His mind involuntarily recalled the enormous beast he had met when he had first entered the Origin Martial Continent. Back then, Gu You had told him that the Void Lightning Beast tribe specialized in controlling thunderbolt strength. Even their mastery of spatial strength was only below that of the Dragon tribe. It was unexpected that Lei Yuan, who was raised by the Lightning Beast tribe, would end up in this place.
However, compared to this, the thing that really interested Xiao Yan was the enormous lightning strength that was contained within the Lei Yuan. After all, he had some understanding of this thing. From a certain point of view, the Lei Yuan, which had just gained an intelligence, was similar to the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning that he had encountered back then. It had grown and accumulated for many years in the endless void in order to be nurtured into its current form. Moreover, this was something that was reared by the Void Lightning Beast tribe. The lightning strength within it was likely extraordinary. If Xiao Yan could obtain it, it was likely that the Northern King's strength would be able to greatly increase.
On the auction stage, Zi Yun's somewhat golden eyes slowly swept across the entire place. He immediately nodded with satisfaction when he saw the heated gazes of some of the experts present. After which, he softly laughed and said,
"Ha ha, this Lei Yuan is something that we have coincidentally obtained. Back then, a Source Zong level elder from the Lava Castle had fallen in order to capture this thing. Its value cannot be easily estimated. Therefore, if anyone is interested, you can bid a high price for it."
Zi Yun had roamed the continent for many years and had some idea of the value of Lei Yuan. However, if he were to simply set a price, it would be equivalent to drawing an equal sign on the value of Lei Yuan. Once there was a limit to everything, it was destined that it would be difficult to escape. Hence, throwing the price back to the guests on the viewing platform would instead magnify the value of Lei Yuan in their hearts.
Although Zi Yun's method on the stage was an open scheme, the crowd below the stage would not fall into a frenzy because of it. Not long after his words sounded, a somewhat mocking laughter sounded in the auction ground.
"I bid fifty high grade spirit stones!"
The moment these words were spoken, the crowd, who were not interested in Lei Yuan, immediately burst into laughter. However, the former did not seem to mind. He smiled and said, "Friend, this person is very familiar with Lei Yuan.
"This friend, I believe that you are well aware of the value of Lei Yuan. If no one here is able to offer a price that is comparable to it, this old man will take it back on behalf of the auction house. I hope that everyone can be respectful."
After these words were spoken, more than half of the laughter in the auction ground immediately disappeared. The person who had bid earlier also sat back down somewhat awkwardly. The atmosphere in the auction ground also became silent for a moment.
Naturally, there were many people who were tempted by the Lei Yuan on the stage. However, those who could truly make use of it, other than the experts who specialized in the Lightning Attribute, did not have much confidence in refining it. Moreover, as Zi Yun had said, everyone knew the value of the Lei Yuan. However, everyone present today was here for the Fire Banyan Relic. If they were to lose money at this moment, wouldn't it be the same as giving up on the treasure related to the Fire Banyan Relic?
Therefore, those who were truly interested in Lightning Yuan were probably only a handful of lightning-attributed cultivators.
After a long while, Zi Yun's gaze scanned the auction ground. Seeing that no one had made a move, he became slightly anxious. His fingers gently patted his sleeves and his gaze constantly swept the auction ground, hoping that someone would bid as soon as possible.
In the stands, at this moment, Xiao Yan was also rubbing his palms and calculating in his heart. Then, he opened his mouth slightly. Just as he was about to bid, suddenly, in the huge auction ground, there was a loud voice.
"I bid four hundred high grade spirit stones!"
A deep and loud voice reverberated in the field. Everyone's gaze followed the voice and saw a tall and sturdy man staring at Lei Yuan in the field with a determined smile on his face. He had deliberately waited for this moment to test if there was anyone else who was interested in competing with him. As long as no one else made a bid, Lei Yuan would be in his pocket!
"I bid five hundred high grade spirit stones!"
"I bid seven hundred high grade spirit stones!"
However, the burly man's bid seemed to ignite the flames in everyone's hearts. The other two figures in the stands, who had been silent for a long time, finally slowly stood up and made their bids. This caused the burly man's expression to immediately turn ugly.
In a short period of time, the price of Lei Yuan had been raised to the sky high price of two thousand high grade Spirit Stones by the three bidders. On the auction stage, the smile on Zi Yun's face grew even wider. Evidently, this price had already exceeded their expectations.
However, just as the three of them were shouting their bids, a low and deep voice suddenly resounded like a thunderclap from the spectator stands behind them.
"I bid five high grade spirit stones!"
As the voice rang out, everyone's gaze turned towards the source of the voice. However, all they could see was a blurry figure. After all, as a Source Sect practitioner, if he wanted to conceal his appearance, he naturally had countless methods to do so.
At the front of the viewing platform, Ou Yangmiao and Bai Zijing unconsciously furrowed their brows. Although the voice had changed a little, it still sounded a little familiar to their ears. However, they were unable to identify who it was at this moment.
After Xiao Yan made his bid, no one on the auction stage was able to catch up. Five high grade spirit stones. This price could be described as extravagant no matter where it was placed. Among the people present, other than the people from the various factions, no one else could take out so many high grade spirit stones in one go. Therefore, as long as it was not one of those factions, no one dared to compete with him.
"Haha, congratulations to this mister. You have obtained this Lei Yuan with only five high grade spirit stones."
On the stage, Zi Yun smiled as he caught the five high grade spirit stones that Xiao Yan had tossed over. Then, he placed the Lei Yuan in front of Xiao Yan.
"Mister, if this Space Prison loses our reinforcement, it will disperse on its own in half a day. At that time, it will be up to you."
Zi Yun gave a simple reminder. Now that he had obtained the spirit stones, Zi Yun naturally did not care about the whereabouts of the Lei Yuan. However, just as he spoke, he was shocked to see a pitch-black curtain quietly gather in front of Xiao Yan. Then, it swallowed the Lei Yuan.
"Is that … the Void Dao …"
Seeing this scene, shock flashed across the old man's eyes. Fortunately, he was not an inexperienced person. He quickly sorted out his emotions and focused his attention on the next auction item.
After this Lei Yuan, the emotions of everyone in the auction hall were still high. However, Xiao Yan, who was at the back, had already lost his interest. Following the successful completion of numerous rare items in the outside world, a couple of hours unknowingly passed amidst this noise. The countless number of heated gazes in the auction hall stared intently at Zi Yun on the auction stage. On the other hand, those factions in the front row could not help but frown. More than half of the auction items had been sold, but the mysterious map that was related to the Fire Banyan remains had yet to appear.
At a certain moment, Zi Yun's figure on the stage gradually disappeared, and a green-faced old man in a red robe strangely appeared beside him. At the same time, the atmosphere in the field became somewhat solemn in an instant.
"Oh?"
Sensing the change in the atmosphere, Xiao Yan, who was resting with his eyes closed at the back of the stands, suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze immediately fell on the figure in front of him. Then, his eyebrows twitched as he whispered in surprise.
"A Source Venerable expert!"
"Looks like it's time for the main event!"
Xiao Yan's figure stood tall as he muttered to himself. At the same time, a hoarse voice slowly sounded from the green-faced old man's mouth.
"Hehe, I am the green-faced Zhuo, the second in command of Lava Castle. Next, I will be auctioning the last auction item of this trade fair."
As his laughter faded, the green-faced Zhuo casually made a grabbing motion. The space in front of him immediately distorted, and a slightly wrinkled scarlet parchment appeared in front of the crowd.
